In Maisons-Alfort, in the Val-de-Marne département of France, some amusing boarders welcome you and your family all year round, on Wednesdays and weekends: so head to the town's educational farm for a little country escapade to discover its animals!

In the Val-de-Marne region, in the heart of the town of Maisons-Alfort, the educational farm offers an open-air outing in contact with animals and nature: an opportunity for young and old to (re)discover farm animals during a short stroll.

Welcome to the Maisons-Alfort farm, where you'll be greeted by a host of two-legged, four-legged, feathered and furry pensioners... You'll discover rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, peacocks, donkeys and a whole host offarmyard animals (chickens, pheasants, geese). For pitchouns, it's a chance to discover the animals, stroke them, observe them, feed them and, above all, learn all about their eating habits and way of life. As an added bonus, the educational farm has a bird aviary, housed in the Pavillon Bleu, a former building from the1889 Universal Exhibition (held in Paris at the time), renovated by the municipal services of the town of Maisons-Alfort.

The Maisons-Alfort farm regularly offers activities for children, with the opportunity to spend a day in the shoes of a farmer during"Apprentice Farmer" activities, the traditional egg hunt organized every year, or even days when you can watch sheep being sheared. You'll pay €5 per child and €10 per adult to discover this lovely farm, and only €2 per adult and €1 per child if you live in Maisons-Alfort (please note that credit cards are not accepted).

Why not visit the Maisons-Alfort educational farm this Wednesday or this weekend?
